A Proper Campervan Upgrade

Completely Change
How Your Van Feels

A poptop is one of the biggest upgrades you can make to a campervan. With the roof raised, the rear of the vehicle becomes brighter, taller and far more comfortable to move around in.

We fit Van-Lidz poptop roof systems and can combine the installation with other upgrades such as lining, insulation, lighting, windows and electrical work.

Why We Fit Van-Lidz

A Poptop Built Properly

The parts you do not immediately see matter just as much as the finished roof. Van-Lidz combines composite roof construction with purpose-designed hardware and a high-quality canvas system.

01

Single-Piece Roof

Van-Lidz manufactures its poptop roof shells as a single-piece composite structure designed around the profile of the vehicle.

02

Quad Gas Ram System

The lifting system uses four gas rams integrated with the hinge system, helping provide support and stability when raising and lowering the roof.

03

Stainless Hinges

Full-length stainless-steel hinges form an important part of the roof structure and are designed specifically for the poptop system.

04

Marine-Grade Canvas

The canvas is designed for campervan use with ventilation, fly screens, privacy and light control built into the roof tent design.

The Difference A Poptop Makes

Standing Room
When You Need It

With the roof down, the van retains a clean everyday profile. Once parked, raise the poptop and the living area opens up with considerably more headroom.

More comfortable cooking and changing space
A brighter and more open-feeling interior
Ideal for day vans and campervan layouts
Optional roof-bed configurations depending on specification
Selected Vehicle Applications

Which Vans Do We Fit?

We currently install poptop roofs on selected Volkswagen Transporter and Ford Transit Custom models. Send us your registration and vehicle details and we will confirm compatibility before quoting.

VW Transporter

A poptop transforms the Transporter into a far more usable leisure vehicle, adding standing height while keeping the compact footprint that makes the van so popular.

Ford Transit Custom

Selected Transit Custom models can also be fitted with a Van-Lidz poptop, creating significantly more space for day-van and campervan use.

Poptop Options & Upgrades

Canvas Options

A range of canvas colours and specifications are available so the roof can complement the rest of your van.

Roof Bed

Where available for your roof specification, a roof-bed setup can turn the poptop into additional sleeping accommodation.

Interior Lighting

Lighting can be incorporated into the roof and surrounding trim as part of the installation or wider van build.

Solar

If you are planning off-grid electrics, speak to us about integrating suitable solar equipment into the overall build.

Carpet Lining

The surrounding interior can be insulated and carpet lined to give the installation a clean, finished appearance.

Van Windows

Side and rear windows can be fitted at the same stage if you are building the vehicle up from a panel van.

Leisure Electrics

Lithium batteries, DC-DC charging, 12V systems and mains hook-up can be planned around the finished campervan layout.

Diesel Heating

An Autoterm diesel heater can be added as part of a staged upgrade to make the vehicle more comfortable throughout the year.
